Jog-a-ThonIn regards to the Jog-a-thon that will be held this Friday, September 25 at 8:30am on the track, I've placed another donation form in your child's cubby for tomorrow should you have misplaced your other one and would like to donate. PLEASE dress your child appropriately on Friday (closed-toed tennis shoes, comfortable clothes, and NO dresses for the girls!)Thank you in advance for your cooperation. Let's get ready to run and raise money for our school!

On Death and DyingWe have had several deaths in our students' families lately, so I asked Ms. Dupes--our librarian--if she had any books on death and dying. We have been discussing about losing their grandparents and that it's ok to be sad. We think happy memories of our loved ones. We have been reading stories about it as well to help the kiddos learn and cope.

Scholastic BooksTwo more flyers have gone home. The deadline to submit your orders is Oct. 16. You can purchase them online with the code that is written on the flyer/email, or turn your money into me. Thank you for encouraging your kiddos to read and for participating in Scholastic. I cannot stress enough the importance and impact reading has on learning. Starting October, the Pizza Hut certificates will go out to those students who FULLY complete their reading logs. Remember to write a sentence of your favorite book and why AND draw a picture of your favorite part on the back. For the remainder of September, your child will receive a FREE BJ's restaurant kid's meal :)

Reflections Program Theme: Let Your Imagination FlyEvery year, the PTA organizes an art contest that allows your child to ignite their creativity. We will set aside some time in class for this activity. If your child wishes to create their masterpiece at home, I will be sending home the entry form along with the theme, which is "Let Your Imagination Fly." There are different types of media (dance choreography, film production, literature, music composition, photography, and visual arts.) We will most likely be creating a visual arts project in class. I HIGHLY encourage you to have your child enter, and--if you have time at home--let them create a masterpiece. The possibilities are endless ;) Deadline: Nov. 6

Just a friendly reminder as birthdays are quickly approaching...if you would like to come in to throw a little celebration, please remember tofill out a food request form 5 days prior to the event as well as notify me, so I can plan accordingly. (NO balloons are allowed.) You can get the food request form at the front office, or I attached it to an email I sent you as well.

Any questions, feel free to let me know. The best time to come would be 9-9:30amas that is our recess.

Hope this message is finding you well! A colleague of mine found an opportunity to win an art and reading kit for our classroom!AWESOME! I'm a HUGE advocate on incorporating arts into education, so thought I'd pass this on to you :)

We have been reading about the "Pout-Pout" fish, and Scholastic'stheme for this art contest is to "create and submit a self-portrait showing how you have fun at school."

Don't worry about mailing it. I will mail all of them together, so if you enter this contest, just BRING YOUR PICTURE TO SCHOOL TO ME :)

Deadline is: October 13

I hope you will enter. This is a great opportunity! I will try to do this assignment in class as well, but if you would like to do at home, that would be AWESOME!

I've emailed you our Scholastic Reading Club code should you wish to purchase books online and/or through the flyer your child should have brought home today. I HIGHLY encourage to read with your child at least 15 minutes everyday. Remember the suggested reading logs I have created to log your book reading (you can download and print more reading logs found under "TK Resources" then click "Other.") You can help your child rate the book, tell me their favorite part and why, and draw a picture on the back. If they fill up the reading log and turn it in, they will receive a special surprise :)

Your child should have also brought home a Jog-a-Thon fundraiser flyer. The money raised will go directly back to our school. You can donate to BonsallPTA.org, cash, or check with a flat fee or per lap your child runs. Let's show our support and encourage the kiddos to get fit and healthy at the same time!

Thank you all for your consistent communication and support. Have a TERRIFIC Tuesday, and see you "on time and ready to learn" on WONDERFUL Wednesday!
